Critical Defensive Situation for Milan
The crisis for the rossoneri does not stop only at the forwards but also concerns the defense. Fikayo Tomori, the 27-year-old central defender, is suffering from a knee injury resulting from a blow he received against Atalanta. Despite continuing to play through the pain, the current situation is critical, with a swollen knee that could force him to miss the important match against Roma.
In case of Tomori’s absence, Milan would have to rely on Koni De Winter, who could fill his role at the center of the defense. However, De Winter’s starting alongside Matteo Gabbia and Strahinja Pavlović does not offer much reassurance, considering the scarcity of alternatives available in the defensive department. Allegri will therefore be forced to find alternative solutions, such as the possibility of moving Pervis Estupiñán to the left.
The challenge against Roma is shaping up to be a true test of endurance for Milan, which must face not only absences in attack but also in defense. Another defeat could further jeopardize the team’s position in the standings, making every point precious at this stage of the season. However, the chances of Tomori’s recovery remain uncertain, and fans are hoping for his swift recovery.
